If you work or stay in the city center of Vienna, you are surrounded by great restaurants and gourmet stores including a vast offering of lunch options. We have a lot of different lunch spots in the first district and have prepared a list of amazing lunch places for you. They are all conveniently within walking distance from St. Stephen's Cathedral because we know how short a lunch break can be.


Honu Tiki Bowls
The Hawaiian lunch place offers tasty Poke bowls, a new trend that originated in Hawaii, USA. Build your own bowl and choose your base, dressing, greens, protein, sauce, and topping, or select one of the signature bowls, such as the all-time favorite spicy tuna. Seating is available but limited. Take-away is always an option. Make sure to grab a loyalty card if you plan on coming back.

neuDeli
One of the trendiest lunch places in Vienna, neuDeli prepares various fresh curries, soups, and other dishes daily. Our absolute favorite: Spicy minced roast with mashed sweet potatoes. Most people eat at the high tables and it is not unusual to squeeze into another party. Takeaways, phone orders, and loyalty programs are available.


Ra'mien
Ra'mien is one of Vienna's best places for ramen specialties, Vietnamese phos, and rice bowls. Ra'mien is located directly at Hoher Markt across from Vienna's most famous Würstelstand.


Hidden Kitchen
Hidden Kitchen is one of the trendiest places in the city center of Vienna when it comes to healthy and vegetarian food. They do not use any preservatives in their food and most dishes are vegetarian or vegan. A classic lunch option is the main & salad which comes with a main dish and a variety of different salads. At first the proportion of main and salad might seem unusual if you are not used to it but as a healthy kitchen, they focus on greens and vegetables.


Schoenscharf
The restaurant offers Southeast Asian specialties such as spicy Thai green papaya salad, Red Thai Curry with beef, and Khao Pad Gung as well as varying daily lunch menus. Due to limited seating, most customers prefer takeout. During lunch hours, schönscharf collaborates with Ubereats for lunch deliveries.

Wiki Wiki Poke Bowls
The newly opened lunch place on Wipplinger Strasse impresses not just with creative Poke bowls but also with its beach-style interior design with swings serving as seats and a totally laid-back atmosphere.

IKO
The trendy Japanese fusion restaurant on Wipplinger Strasse offers fine business lunch including various dons, noodle- and rice dishes, salads as well as a special daily dish.
